Kampala, Uganda – The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) has announced a planned power shutdown at the Ggaba Water Works, which will result in interruptions to the water supply in several areas of Kampala on Friday, September 13, 2024.
According to the NWSC, the shutdown is necessary to allow the Umeme team to improve power supply at the Ggaba Power Station. The works are designed to enhance power reliability at the station, but will require a total plant shutdown, resulting in water supply disruptions from 8am to 7pm.
